CA Rotary noob

Hello everyone! My name is Brian I am from Los Angeles. I am a classic car (69 mustang & 64 falcon conv.) lover, yet my good friend changed my interest to rotary.
He had a 1991 convertible rx-7 sitting in his garage for a few months because he got his subaru sponsored / hooked up thru ingen. So the car sat, and he would always mention that the car was worth about 2,000 dollars and blah blah blah. Well eventually I asked for the car, and purchased it for 800.00 dollars.
After an oil change, spark plug change, plug wires, battery, new air filter and fuel filter and a car wash. I fell in love with my S5. I'll soon post pics and I hope to meet some rotary heads from L.A. and get the most help possible.
Cus, like how I titled my thread, I am a Rotary noob.

I have been into Mitsu's but alot of my friends are into RX7's. 1 of them had a good running 88 vert that needed a top, I decided to buy it, and joined the ranks of the RX7 fan's. It is totally different from my Lancer, but I am really starting to get attached.
